Intune + Azure Arc Modernization

This kit is the device- and server-plane workstream of OrgMod, the modernization expression of the Federal Modernization Program substrate (see the OrgMod hub).

This kit modernizes a Hybrid Active Directory estate onto Microsoft Intune (workstations) and Azure Arc (servers), and closes out the identity work that rides alongside it — NTLM elimination, SPN hygiene, SQL Server hardening, and a Conditional Access baseline. It names only platforms the agency already runs: Entra ID, Intune, Azure Arc, Azure Policy, Defender, and Active Directory.

It is runnable two ways from the same scripts:

If you build the manual path now and want governance later, you do not redo the work.

TipDownload the runnable kit

The companion Intune + Azure Arc Modernization Kit ships these pages alongside an implementation-path guide, a shared PowerShell module, and Microsoft Graph / Az scripts (Arc onboarding + baseline, Intune auto-enrollment + posture, NTLM audit + restriction, SPN repair, SQL hardening audit, CA baseline + drift, and a cross-domain status roll-up). Every state-changing script honors -WhatIf.

The pages

Page What it covers
Manual path The end-to-end technical runbook with no governance control plane — Arc onboarding, Intune enrollment, NTLM/SPN/SQL hardening, Conditional Access, monitoring, and rollback. Each operator owns the decision.
Governed path (the Federal Modernization Program) The same end state, bound to canon governance — control-plane-governs-data-plane, the L0–L4 actuation ladder, the drift-detection loop, and evidence.

How the two paths relate

The manual path and the governed path produce the same configuration on the Microsoft surface. The governed path adds the binding from organizational intent to technical change: who owns it, what authorizes it, and how drift is caught.

A note on terminology

In this repository, the Federal Modernization Program is the Unified Identity-Addressing-Overlay Architecture — an active reconciliation control plane that governs provider data planes (Entra, Intune, Azure Policy, AD) per the program decision. It holds desired state, observes actual state, classifies drift, and reconciles toward intent; it is not an inline runtime component and does not replace the providers. The governed path below is written to that definition.
